Journalist writes pre-death obituary for Mitch McConnell

Journalist Joseph Gerth published a pre-obituary for Senator Mitch McConnell in the Louisville Courier Journal.

Gerth accused McConnell of undermining civil rights protections and enabling President Donald Trump while privately calling Trump 'stupid' and a 'despicable human being.'

Gerth compared McConnell to Richard Nixon, stating McConnell 'never paid for his sins' unlike Nixon.

Gerth criticized McConnell's 2016 blockade of Merrick Garland's Supreme Court nomination and his 2020 push to confirm Amy Coney Barrett, arguing it hurt the court's credibility.
